Report: Facebook acquires Chai Labs

Facebook Inc. has reportedly acquired online content publishing software start-up Chai Labs Inc.

The All Things Digital blog of the Wall Street Journal reported the deal on Sunday, saying it is likely to be in the $10 million range and is most likely a talent buy rather than a new product play by the Palo Alto social networking company.

Mountain View-based Chai Labs was founded by Gokul Rajaram, who is a former Google Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) AdSense executive.

Regulatory filings show that it raised $1.1 million in funding last year and $1.3 million in 2008. Among the advisers list on its website are Netscape Communications Corp. founder Marc Andreessen, LinkedIn Inc. founder Reid Hoffman and Excite co-founder Joe Kraus.

Chai Labs' technology helps publishers and journalists launch content websites.
